First of all, please login your intraComm system with the administrator account and choose Settings > Live Support Type. There you can create a live support type for your live support team. Click the create button to create the record. The following window should pop up after you click the create button. You should fill in the information by following the instructions in the following screen dump.

Note that the field Item is the type name for your live support team. It will be used later for the User's Tags Set. Just like an user name, it should not contains any space in between. The title is the real name of your live support team.

Please note that there is a field called Off Time. It is made for you to set the working hours for your live support team. What you have input is the resting time of your team. The following is an example of the Off Time format:

Sun,00:00-06:59,20:01-23:59,2009-12-25

The above example means, you live support team will rest on every Sunday, from 12am to 7am, from 8pm to 12am and Christmas. You can dynamically fill in your rest days (in weekdays / time / date) and separate them by commas.

When you right click to select a location, a window like this will pop up. Choose your target location and double click it.

After you create a live support type. You have to assign an user as the live support operator and another user for the live support supervisor. The live support operator is the one to answer live support messages while live support messages will be pass to the supervisor if the operator does not reply the messages in a reasonable time.

To assign an user to be the live support supervisor, you edit an user and add wi_[your live support type]_super to the Tags Set of the user. For example, if youe live support type name is "LiveSupportDemo", then your tags set should be "wi_LiveSupportDemo_super". For how to edit an user, you should go to User Admin > User and select your targeted live support supervisor and click the modify button .
